Holiday Rambler is one of the most iconic names in American motorhomes, with a long legacy of building popular coaches like the Ambassador, Endeavor, and Navigator. Their extensive lineup, past and present, includes everything from luxury Class A diesel pushers to versatile Class C models and nimble Class B vans. These RVs are built on powerful chassis from Freightliner, Spartan, Ford, and Mercedes-Benz, as well as their own legendary Roadmaster chassis. At Brisbon Automotive, we provide the expert chassis repair and maintenance your Holiday Rambler deserves. From full air brake service on a diesel pusher to a heavy-duty alignment on a gas model, our skilled technicians in North Raleigh have the expertise to service your coach’s chassis and keep your travels safe.

Available Services and Repairs for Holiday Rambler Motorhomes
Your Holiday Rambler coach is a high-end investment built on a heavy-duty chassis. It requires a service facility with the tools and expertise to match. We provide comprehensive chassis service for your specific platform, whether it’s a Freightliner, Spartan, Ford F-53, a classic Roadmaster chassis, or a Dodge/Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Preventative Maintenance
Protecting your RV’s powertrain begins with consistent, chassis-specific care. We follow the manufacturer’s severe-duty schedule for all oil and filter changes (gas or diesel), fuel-water separator service, and fluid checks for the Allison transmission, differential, and hydraulic systems. This also includes full-point chassis lubrication.
Brake System Repairs
The braking systems on Holiday Rambler’s Class A lineup are our specialty. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing and servicing the full air brake systems on models like the Ambassador and Navigator, including air dryer and compressor service. We also provide complete hydraulic and hydro-boost brake repair for gas and Class C models.
Engine and Transmission Services
This service focuses on powertrain diagnostics and repair. We are your source for advanced diagnostics for your coach’s powertrain. We handle all “Check Engine” light issues on Cummins, Caterpillar, and Ford V10/V8 engines. We also provide full service and repair for the heavy-duty Allison and Ford TorqShift automatic transmissions paired with them.
Suspension and Steering System Maintenance
Many Holiday Rambler coaches are famous for their proprietary Roadmaster chassis, which often features a unique eight- or ten-airbag suspension system for a superior ride. We have the expertise to service these specific systems, diagnosing ride height issues and replacing air springs. Our heavy-duty alignment rack ensures your coach tracks straight to prevent driver fatigue.
Cooling System Maintenance
A hard-working RV engine, especially a diesel pusher with a rear-mounted radiator, requires a perfectly maintained cooling system. We service the entire cooling “stack,” including the charge air cooler (CAC), and inspect the hydraulic cooling fan drive systems, replacing belts, hoses, or water pumps to prevent a trip-ending overheating failure.
Electrical System Diagnostics and Repairs
We specialize in the complex 12-volt automotive chassis systems that power your driving operations. Our technicians can diagnose and repair issues with starting and charging, dash instrumentation, factory lighting, and the complex multiplex wiring systems common in high-end Holiday Rambler coaches.
Note: We do not service the 120V “house” electrical system.
Exhaust System Repairs
A leak-free exhaust system is critical for both safety and performance. We inspect the entire system, from the turbocharger and exhaust manifold to the tailpipe. We service the engine’s exhaust brake (Jake brake) for proper operation and can replace any damaged mufflers or piping to ensure your coach is safe and quiet.
Tire Services
Tires on a heavy Class A motorhome are your most critical safety component. We inspect all tires (including inner duals) for weather-checking (cracking) and age, as tires often “age out” before they wear out. Our heavy-duty equipment can safely balance, rotate, and replace large 22.5-inch tires.
DEF System Maintenance (for Diesel Engines)
For all modern Holiday Rambler diesel pushers and Sprinter vans, a functional Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is essential. We provide complete diagnostics for DEF system faults and “limp mode” conditions, and can service or replace failed DEF pumps, heaters, and sensors to keep you on the road.
